4 Fixes Topics: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Bandwidth and port details Single Sign-On with CSR Storage sled and storage IOM updates Root password application FCoE virtual MAC addresses OME-Modular unresponsive HTTPS firmware catalog share Compute sled firmware updates in member chassis Compute sled updates Failure of compute sled updates in MCM FIPS enabled systems Deployment and configuration job Migrating profiles Firmware update failure Login failure OME-Modular version information for member
Root password application Fixed an issue to apply the root password to compute sleds in slots when the deploy and configuration job is run. Tracking number 108964 FCoE virtual MAC addresses Fixed an issue that was causing FCoE virtual MAC addresses to display improperly under certain conditions. Tracking number 108238 OME-Modular unresponsive Fixed an issue that was causing OME-Modular to become unresponsive and display an error message.
FIPS enabled systems Fixed an issue on FIPS enabled systems to send emails as part of an alert policy, when SMTP settings are configured with SSL enabled. Tracking number 109796 Deployment and configuration job Fixed an issue that was causing the deployment and configuration job to not start for newly inserted servers when Quick Deploy was configured for all chassis slots.
107401 Firmware update job status Fixed an issue that was causing the status of OME-Modular firmware update job to be displayed as "Completed" even when it failed. Tracking number 110520 Single management module connectivity Fixed an issue that was causing single management module to lose connectivity when the external port link changed.
5 Important Notes Topics: • Security Security OpenVAS vulnerability scanner may report the following issues: ● NVT: OpenSSH 'sftp-server' Security Bypass Vulnerability (Linux) (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.812051). This is a false positive based on the OpenSSH version that OME–Modular carries. No SFTP is exposed or supported. ● NVT: SSH Weak Encryption Algorithms Supported (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.105611). OME–Modular supports secure algorithms and upgrades SSH clients to the appropriate option.
6 Known issues Topics: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Unable to restore network configuration attributes Fault list does not contain HWC2131 Chassis KVM output may be lost after AC power outage in chassis ISL Cabling Diagram not shown correctly in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Unable to view details of template created from a reference device Firmware catalog may be deleted automatically after editing Error displayed when creating a local user account under certain conditions
message is not displayed on the Chassis Fault List on the dashboard. This issue can occur during the management module firmware update. Workaround If the hardware log message HWC2131 was generated during a management module firmware update, ignore the message.
Firmware catalog may be deleted automatically after editing Description If you enter incorrect information while editing a firmware catalog, the catalog may be deleted from OME–Modular. Workaround If you want to modify the catalog source or repository location, it is recommended that you create a catalog instead of editing the existing catalog. Editing the existing catalog is prone to errors.
Systems affected All systems supported by this release. Tracking number 108258 Unable to deploy chassis profile after removing syslog or SNMP destinations Description If you have administrator privileges and export a chassis profile and attempt to deploy the profile after removing the syslog or SNMP destination, the deployment fails. Workaround Do not delete any syslog or SNMP destinations manually from an exported chassis profile. Instead, let the destination entry be blank.
Request to join a group fails when using Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer Description If you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer to initiate an action to join a multi-chassis group, the action may fail. OME–Modular loads portions of the application as they are needed. Environmental factors such as network disruption, web browser choice, and version, may disrupt that process.
Descriptive error not displayed when compute sled is in lockdown mode and VLAN settings are changed Description An error message is displayed when you try to change the VLAN setting on the Chassis > Overview > Hardware > Chassis Slots page when iDRAC is in lockdown mode. But, the error message does not describe the cause of the failure of the task. Workaround No action is required. A descriptive error message will be provided in a future update of OME - Modular.
Multiple Firmware Update jobs start for IOMs or storage devices when IOMs or storage devices are selected while updating firmware from baselines Description Multiple firmware update jobs are started when IOMs or storage devices are selected while updating firmware from a baseline. Workaround When the firmware update fails, select the IOMs or storage device as individual devices and retry the firmware update. Systems affected All Systems supported by this release.
Bandwidth settings are not deployed on IOMs in fabric mode when an imported template is used Description When a template is exported from a chassis, it does not include the attributes which are needed for a switch to set bandwidth settings. Hence, when a template is imported into chassis B from chassis A, the switch bandwidth settings from chassis A are not replicated in chassis B. Workaround Reconfigure the network switch settings manually instead of using an imported template.
7 Limitations 1. OME–Modular is supported only on TLS 1.2 and later. Versions earlier than 1.2 may or may not work. Also, support for earlier versions of TLS is not provided. 2. When navigating to the console for the first time, a blinking cursor does not appear in the text fields. This is owing to a bug in Chrome. For details and current status, see bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=740652. 3.
